According to the fundraiser event, they expect 2.5 million visitors when it opens, not 1.5 million. Also, what ar the attendance numbers for SA's parks?

If you see the above post of mine, Orlando gets about 2.4 million travelers from overseas. That is a crazy large number for international visitors. I am more than positive that is dominantly for it's theme parks.

I see some flaws with this listing as far as Los Angeles is concerned but it comes from a state where it has competition on tourism from both Bay Area and San Diego.

This list if for overall visits, regional/international. I know a lot of the people who visit Orlando don't necessarily do it for the theme parks and can be for business or just for other reasons, but I firmly believe for them to outrank NYC in certain years- it is primarily for the theme parks.

If anyone has another recent study, please feel free to post it. I have seen a lot more, but most do echo roughly the same as this one.

I haven't been able to find accurate attendance figures for Sclitterbahn at New Braunsfels and I'm positive it's well above 1 million because Schlitterbahn Galveston is 1 million.

In 2006 (the year it opened up), Schlitterbahn Galveston got 500,000 in attendance and has doubled since then, Schlitterbahn New Braunsfels was 880,000 and it's attendance went down from the competition from the new park in Galveston.

No Park is coming the guy and his company filed for chapter 11 and the idiots in charge of tax payer money put east montgomery county in debt $10,000,0000 which supposedly spent on just the plans for the park. This needs to be investigated no way drawing up plans for an amusement park cost $10,000,000 and they don't even own the land to the park.
